- This system is very easy to assemble, there are a ton of videos about assembling the tower on the official website of the garden tower project.
- The system is rotatable. You can turn each side toward the sunlight, so plants on each side can perform better photosynthesis.

- You can grow your food in the tower directly from the seeds. There is no need to start seeds in the seed starter kits.
- The plastic that is used to build this system is totally safe for food growers and it is also 100% UV stable.
- Yes, the company also gives you a huge warranty time of 3 years. The company claims that a tower can last 12 years.
- The system has its own composting chamber. You can just put your kitchen wastes in the tower and it will become compost after a few weeks.
Build In Composting System
Compost is one of the sexist things out there. It is a basic need for organic gardening, you cannot perform organic gardening without compost. Luckily the garden tower project comes with a built-in compost chamber where worms work with your kitchen wastes to make compost.
Plus water that runs off and falls in the chamber at the base can be great food for your plants. Because the runoff liquid comes from the soil and compost, so it collects a great number of nutrients during its journey. Collect this compost tea from the bottom and feed it to plants in need.

Cons Of Garden Tower Project
There are no many cons to the garden tower. But here are few that you may consider before you buying it:
- After filling it with the soil, it gets really heavy about 200 pounds. You cannot move it very easily so select a good sunny location before filling it with the soil.
- If you wanted to move it after filling it with the soil, you will need the Deluxe Bundle of the tower, which is not very cheap.
- It didn’t come in different colors. You have to purchase the same color.
Here are a few testimonials of people who are already using the system to grow their food.
Conclusion
I love the garden tower project because it can change the way we garden. In the age of the world, where lands (especially fertile lands) are disappearing because of our stupidity and greed of money, this system can be a great alternative of land to grow limited but organic veggies and fruits.
The best bundle in my opinion is the Deluxe Bundle because it comes with so many tools and the special one is the wheel kit to move the tower even when it is 200 lbs.
